“The Chivas 18 by Pininfarina Limited Editions are distinctive designs that will speak to our customers— modern gentlemen who seek style and substance in the brands they connect with.”

— James Clark, Chivas Regal’s Brand Director

Amongst the select group of modern gentlemn who celebrated the occasion with cocktails around the Ambassador’s pool elegantly lit in Chivas blue, were many Santo Domingo businessmen and women, as well as Juan Carlos González, general manager of Pernod Ricard Dominicana. Also taking part in the event was myself, Rebecca Hughes and Philip Silvestri, representing CasaLife magazine, Casa de Campo’s exclusive resort and resident magazine, whose most recent edition features this beautiful design collaboration between Chivas 18 and Pinifarina. Other Santo Domingo – based Casa de Campo villa owners in attendance included Eduardo Jana, Sixto Inchaustegui, as well as Raisa and Manuel Tapia of Marat Legal.

In recent times, Chivas has shared with us some fun moments here in Casa de Campo; the launch of the latest issue of CasaLife at The Club in Altos de Chavón, a cocktail to celebrate the opening of “Fernando Varela Recent Works – Paintings/Drawings”, the Semana Santa Sunset Jazz Night, as well as of course the CasaLife and Chivas 18 “experience of the senses” at Punta Minitas 34.
